Save the Bachelor of Heaven

   Jin Quan nodded. Now that he has retired from the position of prime minister, he also knows that the times are different, and it is not the time of prosperity before. Therefore, it is necessary to increase income and reduce expenditure, and cut down on food and clothing.

  He doesn't want to be like those Manchu princes. The Manchu and Qing Dynasties have collapsed, and they will continue to maintain the dignity of the princes, so they will not hesitate to sell their pawned properties.

   As a result, within a few years, they were all impoverished, died of illness and starvation, and there were many beggars along the street. There are even princesses and princesses who have become prostitutes, ruining the face of their family and ancestors.

  So Jin Quan specially called the whole family together and told them that the Jin family is no longer what it used to be.

  Not in their position, not holding their power, let them be careful in everything in the future, don't cause troubles outside, and cut down expenses so as not to make ends meet.

  For this reason, the Jin family will lay off half of the servants, including drivers, porters, gardeners, etc. Half of the servants following the young master will also be cut off.

  Of course, if you don't want to abolish it, you can pay for it yourself. However, the young lady's maid does not need to be cut, lest outsiders say that the Jin family treats their daughter-in-law harshly.

   "Father, the driver has been laid off, so it will be very troublesome to go out." Jin Hesun commented.

  Jin’s family has cars in each house, and they all have special drivers. Xiang Nan's driver, De Hai, is one of them.

   "You can drive yourself, why hire a driver?" Jin Quan glanced at him and said, "Besides, what do you usually go out for? It's just to eat, drink and have fun. In my opinion, it's better not to go out."

   Seeing what he said, Jin Hesun was speechless.

   "Father, if the gardener is abolished, who will take care of the flowers and trees in the garden?" Feng Ju asked again.

  The Jin Family Garden is quite large, covering several acres of land. If there is no gardener to take care of it every day, how can there be such a beautiful view. After all, those flowers and plants are very delicate, if no one takes care of them, they may wither within a few days.

"Then don't take care of it. It's better this way. Flowers, plants, fish and insects are naturally interesting, and rewarding them is natural." Jin Quan said coldly, "Besides, I didn't see how much you love flowers. You don't sleep all day long Home, no matter how beautiful the flowers in the garden are, how many times can you go to see them in a year?"

   Jin Fengju couldn't say anything.

"Okay, let me take care of the abolition of the concierge and the gardener, and the drivers and servants of your houses will do it themselves. If you don't want to cut it, you can pay for it yourself, and you won't take public accounts in the future." Jin Quan said again, " Besides, except for Minzhi and Meili, all of you have already married and have your own affairs. You can spend your money within your own means, and you are not allowed to put it on the public account in the future."

   Hearing what he said, everyone was naturally depressed.

  Although Jin Fengju, Jin Hesun, and Jin Pengzhen all have errands, they are used to being extravagant. They always leave thousands of dollars in the deficit every year, and they all try to hang it on the public account.

   Now if they are not allowed to hang up, they will really be in trouble if they want to spend money extravagantly.

  …

   Then Xiang Nan and Bai Xiuzhu went back to their room to discuss.

   There are actually four servants beside Xiang Nan, besides Jin Rong, there are Li Fu, Zhang Shun, and Jing Gui.

  Now Xiang Nan only plans to keep Jin Rong alone, and the driver Dehai also wants to stay.

   Once, Bai Xiuzhu often had to go back to her natal home, and her driving skills were not very good, and Xiang Nan didn't dare to let her go on the road alone, so it was just right to leave De Hai to drive for her;

  Secondly, Dehai knew many things about him, and it would be bad for him to tell these things out of resentment after being laid off.

  Besides, considering Xiang Nan's income, raising a driver is not a problem. Not to mention that Bai Xiuzhu has hundreds of thousands of oceans, but he himself has earned 20,000 to 30,000 oceans.

   As for the maids, there are two maids beside Bai Xiuzhu, one is Aqiu, whom she brought as a dowry, and the other is Xiaocui, the maid pointed out to her by the Jin Mansion; there is only one maid beside Xiao Lian.

  These three maids don't need to be cut, and even Xiang Nan wants to hire two more. Add one to Bai Xiuzhu and Xiao Lian. That way, both of them can relax more.

   "Actually, don't move in my opinion. It's not like the two of us can't afford it." Bai Xiuzhu said to Xiang Nan.

  With her money, it is not difficult to raise three more servants. A little leakage from the fingers is enough for them to eat. She didn't want Xiang Nan to go out with only one follower, it would be so embarrassing.

   "No, I still have to move." Xiang Nan waved his hands and said, "It's not easy for me to go out, and Jin Rong's entourage is enough, and I can't put on such a big picture.

  Besides, everyone is laying off, even the father's side has to be moved, but our side is as stable as Mount Tai. Doesn't it seem that we are ignorant? "

  The so-called tree fell, no matter in the novel or in the TV series, after Jin Quan's death, the Jin family laid off a large number of people. Since early and late cuts are all cuts, it is better to cut early.

  Because of the layoffs now, with Jin Quan in charge and the power of the Jin family around, those servants dare not change their minds.

   Unlike in the novel, many servants came to a package meeting before they left, stole and hid things from the Jin family, and abducted many things.

  Bai Xiuzhu nodded when she saw what he said.

  …

   Subsequently, the Jin family began to lay off staff.

   Those servants were naturally unwilling to leave.

   After all, it is so difficult to find an errand in these times of chaos. What's more, it is better for a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's family to be a servant in the Jin family than to be a master in someone else's family.

   Now that they have lost their jobs, they are of course sad.

  But Chai Xinxin and Jia Gongping are the two role models of accountants. They have served the Jin family for more than ten years, and they can be regarded as the elderly of the Jin family. Now not only was he arrested, but even his property was confiscated.

   And these servants work in the Jin Mansion, sometimes for decades, sometimes as short as a few years, where there is real cleanliness, they don't take a dime.

   Therefore, I was afraid that if I didn't leave, the Jin family would make trouble for me, so I had to leave.

   Fortunately, the Jin family's benevolence did not hold them accountable, and even rewarded them with two months' salary, which is considered a good breakup.

  After half of the servants were laid off, the Jin family suddenly became much deserted, and even seemed a little empty.

  The first two entered the room and immediately became indifferent. Especially at the gate, there are usually two benches across the east and west, and there are always people sitting there talking and laughing, but now there are no more.

   "Brother Seven, the room is so empty now, it's kind of scary." Jin Meili complained to Xiang Nan.

  After half of the people left, the popularity was not as high as before, making the whole mansion a little creepy.

   "You are too timid, I don't think so." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "I used to think it was too noisy. Now that there are fewer people, I feel quieter."

   "Brother Seven has changed. You used to be the most lively person." Meili curled her lips when she heard this.

  Xiang Nan smiled, "I'm married, of course there will be changes. After you get married in the future, it won't be like this anymore."

   "Hmph, then I will never get married." Meili said with a giggle.

   "Nonsense." Xiang Nan also laughed.

  …
